DesignThe Casio PX-870 is a furniture-style digital piano with a full range of 88 keys and 3 piano pedals.With its compact and stylish design, the piano will blend well with any home environment.The depth of the piano is only 11.7 inches so you can easily fit it into tight spaces. At the same time, the PX-870 is quite heavy and weighs around 75.6 lbs (fully assembled).The PX-870 comes in a large box with all the pieces inside (keyboard, base, music rest, etc.). The assembly is pretty straightforward, and the instructions are well-written, which helps a lot.The only thing you’ll need is a screwdriver and about 30-45 minutes.You’ll probably be able to assemble the entire thing on your own, but it would be much easier to put it all together having someone to help you out (considering the box weighs about 100 lbs).Take a look at the table below to quickly compare the PX-870’s size to some other popular digital pianos.
KeyboardThe PX-870 features Casio’s well-known Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II with 88 full-size keys.The keyboard uses actual hammers to recreate the touch and feel of playing an acoustic piano. SoundThe PX-870 uses the Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source, which provides high-quality piano samples of a 9-foot grand piano.An increased memory capacity and lossless audio compression allow for the rich sound with great accuracy, including the natural decay of notes, string resonance, etc.But the most important thing is that the PX-870 comes with a new 4-layer piano tone, and man, it sounds fantastic.The tone is very rich and smooth with natural decay.
It’s just a pleasure to play. When you reach the polyphony cap, the piano starts to drop the earliest played notes to free up memory for the new ones, which in turn affects the sound and its fullness.You’ll hardly ever need all the 192 or 256 voices of polyphony at a time, but there are cases when you can reach 64 or even 128 note limit, especially if you like to layer several sounds and create multi-track recordings.So it’s very desirable to have at least 64 notes of polyphony. 256-note polyphony is another thing that makes the PX-870 stand out from its competitors. In this price range, no digital piano offers that.256-note polyphony is more than enough to play the most complex music pieces with fast passages and layer multiple sounds without running out of notes.In fact, 128- or 192-note polyphony would also be enough in 99.9% of cases, but when it comes to polyphony, the more, the better.And with 256 notes of polyphony you can play and progress for years to come without needing to upgrade. ModesDual ModeThe PX-870 allows you to layer two different sounds so that they sound simultaneously. ConnectivityThe PX-870 is equipped with the following connectors:Phone Standard Stereo jacksOn the front of the piano you’ll find two 1/4” stereo jacks that you can use to headphones and practice at any time of day and night without bothering others.These jacks can also be used as Line Outs to connect the piano to external speakers, amplifiers, etc. The PX-870 comes with the following accessories:.
Music Rest. AC Power Adapter. Score book of Concert Play songs. Owner’s ManualThe great thing about the PX-870 is that there are not many accessories you’ll have to buy additionally.This will allow you save some good money.In fact, buying an optional furniture stand and a triple pedal unit, which most manufacturers offer for their portable pianos, will cost you about 200$.But you don’t have to worry about these additional costs with the PX-870.The piano has a cabinet, so there is no need to purchase a stand. It also comes with 3 piano-style pedals so again no need for spending extra money on that.However, some accessories you’ll still have to buy additionally. I’m talking about headphones and a bench.As for the, it’s actually not that difficult to find a good one: check photos, reviews and see if it fits your budget. HeadphonesHeadphones come in very handy when you want to practice in private, focusing solely on your playing and not disturbing others nearby.Moreover, a good pair of piano headphones will provide clear and detailed sound that onboard speakers cannot offer.to learn how to choose the best-sounding headphones for your digital piano.
Here are the 3 main competitors to the PX-870 you may want to consider:. Casio PX-770. Casio PX-780. Yamaha YDP-143Casio PX-870 vs Casio PX-770 The was announced at the Summer NAMM 2017 together with the PX-870.
In my opinion, if you’re an intermediate-and-up musician who needs a solid, full-featured digital piano with an authentic sound, touch, and powerful speakers, the is a perfect choice.But, if you’re just a beginner and looking for a great quality instrument to start playing and learning on, then you’d probably be better off with the, which is also a very capable piano with a few less features.
Clayton Root 4 ヶ月 前3:32 24.7 pounds = 11.2 kilograms. For all you mathematically challenged Americans, 1 Kilogram = 2.2 Pounds. There are 454 grams in a pound.
It's sad that there are now only 3 countries left in the world, Burma, Liberia, and the U.S. NOT using the metric system, ie less than 400 million people out of a world population of 7.5 Billion, or about 5%. Perhaps it's time to get with the program but I'm sure Donald Trump and his supporters would not approve such a progressive move. Adonai Krause 3 ヶ月 前@akumirin You're essentially saying 'we're in debt, so we shouldn't start stuff that costs money' And while that's a good idea, converting the measurement system really wouldn't be very expensive. Just don't print imperial stuff, anywhere. Not on rulers, not on schoolbooks nowhere. Make the rulers 4.8mm shorter, and just print centimeters on it.
The savings in materials alone make that worth it. Same with lesson material, just print metric stuff rather than imperial. As for confusion, i don't know about you but i find it much easier to learn that: millimeter = very small, hence the milli.
And centimeter = 10 millimeters, hence the centi. Then we're on to big measures and we have a full meter. That's 100 centimeters. Then we get kilometers = 1000 meters, hence the kilo. Or, 1000 big steps.
These are, to me, a lot more logical and should therefore be easier to learn than the imperial system. Kids will spend less of their time learning measurements and will therefore progress faster. It's also less likely for people to make mistakes with measures because the quantity is hinted at in the name. Centimeters tell you that they're 10. as long as the length that comes before. It's exactly the same with liquids, just put liter instead of meter and you're done. All the same.
So i doubt there'll be that much confusion. It'll take time, but it won't cost a lot of money, at all. Akumirin 3 ヶ月 前@Clayton Root I mean it would be expensive to convert to the imperial system to the metric system. Considering how much debt our nation has accumulated it wouldn't really help to spend more money to convert. Even though it might be more convenient to use the metric system it would also be an inconvenience to Americans who aren't used to this form of measurement and would cause confusion.
For those who don't know we are almost 22 trillion dollars in debt and I'd think it would be a smart move to not create a larger hole that we have already dug ourselves into. So sure call us mathematically challenged but assuming you know this I don't think we're the ones you should be calling that.
